Picture of the week 48

This photograph has always intrigued me because of the primary colors (red, yellow & blue) with the morning moon and the Rebman Glacier peaking along the horizon.

We are half way down the scree slide as I looked back up the slope to capture this image. Running down the scree enabled us to get from the summit  !9,340 ft. to Barafu Camp 15,000 ft. in just under 4 hours, a distance that had taken 3 days to ascend.

Each meter brought increased oxygen and euphoria to our starved brains.
